Positioning the Turning Tool
In order to move the cutting tool, the lathe saddle (Z-axis) and
cross slide (X-axis) can be moved by hand. There are also
power feeds for these axes.
A third axis of motion is provided by the compound. The angle
of the compound can be adjusted to allow tapers to be cut at
any desired angle. First, loosen the bolts securing the
compound to the saddle. Then rotate the compound to the
desired angle referencing the dial graduations at the base of
the compound. Retighten the bolts. Now the tool can be hand
fed along the desired angle. No power feed is available for the
compound. If a fine finish is required, use both hands to
achieve a smoother feed rate.
The cross slide (X-axis) and saddle (Z-axis) have a digital read
out (DRO) to allow accurate positioning, but the compound
doesn't. To position the compound accurately, use the
micrometer dial or a dial indicator mounted to the cross slide.
